What is ScanToReviewAI (STRA)?

ScanToReviewAI (STRA) is a B2B Local SEO platform that turns physical foot traffic into verified 5-star Google Maps reviews. It gives brick-and-mortar businesses an automated, two-tap QR code system that intercepts angry customers privately and uses AI to generate keyword-rich reviews from happy customers, instantly boosting local search rankings on Google Maps.

How does ScanToReviewAI intercept bad Google reviews?

When a customer scans STRA's QR code and rates their experience 1–3 stars, the platform automatically redirects them to a private feedback form instead of Google. The manager receives an instant WhatsApp alert with the complaint. This prevents the negative review from ever being published on Google Maps while giving the business a chance to resolve the issue.

Does using ScanToReviewAI violate Google's review policies?

STRA's review interception and AI-assisted review generation are designed to comply with Google's review policies. The platform encourages genuine customer feedback and does not fabricate or purchase fake reviews. AI assistance helps customers articulate their real experience more effectively. Always consult Google's current guidelines for the latest compliance requirements.

How does STRA help restaurants rank higher on Google Maps?

STRA boosts Google Maps rankings for restaurants through three mechanisms: (1) dramatically increasing the volume of 5-star reviews using frictionless QR-code collection, (2) improving review quality with AI-generated keyword-rich text that includes search-relevant terms like "best pasta in [city]", and (3) preventing negative reviews from lowering the average star rating. Google's local algorithm prioritises businesses with higher review volume, recency, and rating.

What is the price of ScanToReviewAI?

ScanToReviewAI offers a free Starter plan with no credit card required. Paid plans start at ₹499/month (Pro Plan) which includes bad review interception, WhatsApp alerts, and AI review pool. The Business Plan is ₹1,199/month and the Elite White-Label Plan for agencies is ₹2,999/month. All plans support GST-claimable invoicing and UPI/Razorpay payments.

Is ScanToReviewAI a good alternative to Podium or Birdeye?

Yes. ScanToReviewAI is a cost-effective alternative to Podium and Birdeye, specifically designed for the Indian SMB market. While Podium charges $200–$400/month and Birdeye charges $300+/month, STRA starts at ₹499/month (approximately $6/month). STRA also offers features specifically tailored to Indian businesses including UPI payments, WhatsApp integration, and GST-compliant invoicing.

Which types of businesses can use ScanToReviewAI?

ScanToReviewAI is designed for any brick-and-mortar business that relies on local Google Maps visibility. This includes restaurants, cafes, cloud kitchens, salons, spas, gyms, dental clinics, medical clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, retail stores, boutiques, car dealerships, real estate agencies, law firms, coaching institutes, jewellery stores, pet groomers, mechanics, plumbers, and franchise businesses.

How long does it take to rank higher on Google Maps after using STRA?

Most STRA users see a measurable increase in Google Maps visibility within 30–60 days of consistent use. The platform averages a 340% increase in monthly Google review volume within the first 30 days. Google's local algorithm responds to review velocity (how fast you accumulate reviews), so the faster you collect reviews, the faster your ranking improves.

Does ScanToReviewAI support NFC in addition to QR codes?

Yes. ScanToReviewAI supports both QR code scanning and NFC (Near Field Communication) tap-to-review. Businesses can place NFC-enabled table tents, cards, or stands that customers simply tap with their smartphone to instantly trigger the two-tap review workflow — no camera or QR scanning required.

Can digital marketing agencies white-label ScanToReviewAI?

Yes. ScanToReviewAI's Elite Plan includes white-label capabilities, allowing digital marketing agencies to resell the platform under their own brand to their restaurant, salon, and retail clients. Agencies get a multi-client dashboard, custom branding, and agency-level pricing.
